Noted and Quoted.

The recent address of the Anti-Saloon Re
'pnhlicans of Massachusetts points out that for
Years the Republican party i'll that State has
been enactng legislation tending steadily to
restrict the liquor traffic and that this has been
done despite the determined opposition Of the
Democrats, supported by the money of the
liquor dealers and aided indirectly by the third
party. The important restrictive measures
passed hy the Legislature last winter are
pointed out. The address makes Il strong
point when il SAYS; The inevitable logic of
last year is that. if the partial success of the
third party in defeating the return of a dozen
or more temperance members of the legislature
Just so far defeated temperance legislation. its
iurther success in the same direction will lust

ISSUE THE PATENTS.

IL is announced that Immediately af-
ter the holidays an additional force of
ten clerks will be assigned TO the con-
test division OF the general land office.
The acting commissioner hopes that
with the increased force, at least l5O
contest cases will be disposed of each
month. Even that would not he much
of a record, considering that thousands
of claims are now before the depart
ment.
What should be done is. to dispose
of these cases as fast as possible. There
are so many unsettled titles, caused by
the meddllng and interference of black
mailers and busy.bOdies, that great
inconvenience arises. in southern Kan
sas especially.
Next To this inconvenience, the fail
ure To promptly issue patents is the
greatest. In Barber county, where most
of the land has been proved up from
two to five years, it is the exception for
the owner to have a government patent
or deed TO his property. Values must
always vary until the patent lssIes. The
entryDan IS required TO pay taxes Oh
the land from the date of his first pay
ment and final proof, though he does
not get title to his property for years
| afterwaTd.

might spare the time of a few Thousand

rious departments long enough to per

Mr.. Cleveland has grown six feet tall

he issued his cOmmOn-sense message
and now if he will cause to be burned
up the great balls of red tape that ap
pear to cucumber the land department
of the government, the west will ris,
up as one man and call him blessed!
Issue the patents. Settle the cOntes
cases. Rule out busy-bodies, sneak
and black-mailers, who so delight il
tOrmenting honest claimants. Do ava,
with technicalities in the matter o

FARMERS TALK.

While Pennsylvania has heretofore
been regarded as an out and-out pro-
lection state, the claim will no longer
go unqueStioned. At meeting of the
state grange, at Harrisburg, last week,
an effort was made to antagOnize Pres
ident Cleveland's economic ideas, as
expressed i'm his message, but the grange
would not hear TO it, and promptly Ia
bled the resolutions. The state over
seer, Mr.. McSparrow, advocated tariff
reform as the panacea for the ills OF the
farmers, and he had a following of at
least half of the organization. He OPP
posed the repeal Of the internal revenue
tax, and favored tariff reform. but not
indiscriminate free trade. This occur
red in Pennsylvania, heretofore sup
posed TO be the Gibraltar of protection.
Then, in Delaware, on the 18th inst,
the state grange also fell into line as
favOring tariff reform.
The procession is forming and before
the opening of spring the farmers of
the country, from Maine to California,
will be demanding legislation of the
kind recommended 10y Mr.. Cleveland ;
and congress will not dare to ignore the
demand.
Wherever Mr.. Cleveland's message is
read and discussed, there will appear
advocates of reduced revenue, ecOnom-
ical appropriations, and larger free
list for importations.
